Amalfi Coast and Capri Walking Itinerary

Day 2 Capri Day Trip

The first adventure in your walking tour of the Amalfi Coast takes you by ferry to Capri Island, the “pearl of the Bay of Naples.” You can choose between two walks around the island. The first walk on Capri is an easy trip to Emperor Tiber’s villa, where the ruler was said to have thrown his rivals off the cliff (lovely!). The gardens are luxurious and the views over the Gulf of Naples are fantastic. The second option for a walk today is perfect for those wanting to admire views of Monte Solaro and Punta Carena, as you’ll walk from Anacapri up Monte Solaro, where you can enjoy a cable car ride past picture-worthy views. Then, you can descend down to Punta Carena, where you can optionally continue to the Blue Grotto on one of the most beautiful trails on the island. Tough choices today!

Day 3 Walk & Swim at Marina del Cantone

Today, start with a private transfer to Sant’Agata, where you’ll walk to the stunning beach of Marina del Cantone. A little break for a swim and some sun is only natural here, but once you’re done enjoying the bay it’s off to enjoy a walk with views of Capri, the Amalfi Coast, the Gulf of Naples, and Mount Vesuvius.

To complete today’s walk, you can either walk from Termini to Marina del Cantone, walk from Sant’Agata to Marina del Cantone, or forgo the transfers altogether to walk from Sorrento to Marina del Cantone depending on how far you wish to go on foot.

Day 4 Baia di Ieranto Loop

Begin the next leg of your walking adventure on the Amalfi Coast with a trip to the Bay of Ieranto, which has excellent views. Give the legs a break with a float in the Mediterranean or take a nap on the beach- today is a shorter journey to give you more time to relax.

Day 5 Sant’Agata to Colli San Pietroand and Amalfi

Today begins with a private transfer to Sant’Agata dui Due Golfi, where you’ll start your walk to Colli San Pietro, perched high above the coastline. The walk is sublime, and you’ll traverse through terraced fields, lemon groves, and olive trees. The air is scented with wildflowers, and you probably won’t want the day to end! A private transfer in the evening takes you to Amalfi for the next few days. Perhaps some local Limoncello before bed?
